XPS 8700 gpu upgrade problems
I had a dell xps 8700 with the following specs:
intel core i7 4990
nvidia GeForce gt 635
16gb ddr3
win 11 home
I Have tried putting an NVIDIA GeForce gtx 1660 in the computer but it gives 5 beeps on startup meaning cmos power failure and replacing the battery doesn’t work
I saw one post on the dell support forum saying the computer requires a bios update and disabling secure boot but I personally think it needs a stronger psu
the psu is 460w and recommend psu for gtx 1660 is 450w
can I get input from people who know more in this area.

My reply got deleted by Dell. Make sure you connect the required black PCIe connector to GTX 1660.
